Indo US Relations

Betrayal

Modi’s experience with Trump mirrors Nehru’s betrayal by Mao in the late 1950s. With Mao, the reasons—particularly the Dalai Lama’s asylum in India—soon became clear. In Trump’s case, the motives remain uncertain. Any attempt to explain them now would be speculative; the truth will likely emerge in a few years.

Trump has no love for Pakistan’s jihadists, military, or civilian leadership. His intervention in early May was not about loyalty to Pakistan, but about preventing its military collapse. On May 9–10, India targeted key Pakistani sites—Nur Khan airbase and the Sargodha nuclear facility—demonstrating that Pakistan’s nuclear command and delivery systems were within India’s reach.

In response, Pakistan’s Army Chief woke the Prime Minister at 2:30 AM, and a ceasefire was quickly offered. India, having made its point, paused its strikes.

Trump took credit for the ceasefire, but this is misleading. Pakistan had no choice—it was cornered. While Trump may have helped open a diplomatic channel, it was India’s military precision that forced de-escalation.

What raised eyebrows was Trump’s conduct. At the peak of the crisis, he linked Modi a trade deal with ceasefire—suggesting a transactional approach to a grave security matter. Instead of holding the provocateurs accountable, he prioritized optics. In doing so, he mishandled a moment of high stakes and deep consequences. It is nothing else but betrayal.

Its a well thought out strategy from US Deep state accordingly Trump is blabbering in public.

US deep state always wants to hyphenate India with pakistan(the idea behind is create more and more leverage on Indian political set up), but ground realities has long been changed, India under BJP govt will keep a distance with porks and punish severely in case used its terrorism card.

Trump was never against US deep state he was always against the ppl who were against him in deep state.

What will be in future :

India will completely ignore any Trump admin tactics of hyphenate Indo porks, while maintaining very hard stance(could see hard military actions also leave alone any political meets)

We will see hardening stance on any trade and military deal with USA going forward.

QUAD will go in cold storage with little interest shown, India will welcome QUAD leaders in case Trump tries to put any condition on leaders meet, will likely see token summit.
